• Address underlying prejudices and discrimination through education programmes in schools and<br />
community dialogue to help create a more supportive environment for same-sex unions<br />
• Promote media training, explicitly designed to discourage attitudes of discrimination and<br />
stigmatisation towards sexual reproductive health and rights and same-sex relationships, especially in<br />
respect of HIV/AIDS. Encourage the media to adopt ethical rules of conduct that prohibit disclosure<br />
of confidential patient information.<br />
We hope that in sharing this brief overview, we give a clear understanding of the issues of same-sex<br />
relationships, LGBTI human rights in Africa and their implications for sexuality and HIV/AIDS.<br />
